The name's 25. Bond 25, or rather, it's NTTD.

    Octopussy has an identical title in a very different kind of genre ;)

    I’m very happy with the title. Couldn’t be happier really - first title to start with N, multiple words, and it just sounds very Bondian. I’m satisfied and it made my day.

    Yeah, and I instantly started to compose songs in my head. It’s very musical.

    Craig now has all the different type of titles under his belt: Fleming novel title, Fleming short story title, Purvis and Wade made up title, Fleming chapter title, and finally a title with the word DIE in it.

    No Time To Die, eh?

    Better than 99% of the suggestions in this thread. Sorry, guys. :)

    Having said that, this thread became a parody of itself some time ago. ;)

    Yes, it's very generic, isn't it? Plus, it's already a Columbo title so we Columbo fans on here have already heard of it years ago! In that sense, it's a little disappointing

    Agreed. Someone online said No Time To Die sounds like something from a Bond Title Generator. It's uncreative, unoriginal, bland, and sounds like fanfiction Bond. Furthermore having a Bond film share a title with one of the worst episodes of Columbo is hardly a mark of distinction. The filmmakers have had five goddamn years to think up a title, and what they came up with was boring crap.

    Agreed. Utterly bland. Let's hope the script is a little more exciting...

    A title has to translate to screen. If they wanted to give into unused Fleming titles, it would have been done. But let's look at the ones that haven't been used. The below is no disrespect to Fleming, but what was written in the 50s and 60s doesn't easily translate to today's standards.

    Risico- How the hell do you even pronounce this, let alone have it be a motion picture?

    The Hildebrand Rarity- A short story about a rare fish of some sorts. Good luck having this be a title in 2020.

    The Property of a Lady- Solid, but it only appeases us fanboys.

    Let alone Mosaic, Eclipse, Genome of a Woman are just asanine.

    That's only if you pretend the only available titles were from unadapted short stories and overlooked the many available chapter titles. And of course a more creative scriptwriter could have invented an original title that didn't sound like a generic action movie or Fleming fanfiction. No Time to Die is lazy garbage.

    Compared to the garbage that was rumored, I'll take No Time to Die over any of that.

    No time to die is bad. I mean forgettable and really, the more I think about it, the worst title of the film series. Maybe a tie with Tomorrow Never Dies.

    So yes it could have been worse, Genoma of a Woman, but they should have come up with something better and that isn’t that hard if that’s your bar...

    And yes any Fleming unused or chapter title are better because they have character at their least.

    Risico is not that hard a translation man. There was a big hit movie Sicario that spawned a sequel and everything.

    I can pronounce Sicario with no problem. The Florida public school system failed me with the rest

    No Time to Die? What an awful title. Sub-Fleming pastiche.

    Yes, it's very generic, isn't it? Plus, it's already a Columbo title so we Columbo fans on here have already heard of it years ago! In that sense, it's a little disappointing but it'll probably grow on me.

    On the other hand, it's nice that Bond and Columbo now have a title in common, especially for those, like me, who are a big fan of both series. It's just a pity is not regarded as a very good episode or in any way typical of the show.

    Probably unlikely, but I certainly hope they include a Columbo reference in NTTD!

    This must be the first time that a Bond title has already been used by two films and a TV show. Disappointing!

    Yes, I read about that; it's just fun for Bond and Columbo to have something in common. And who knows, maybe some of those responsible for deciding the title are Columbo fans? :-D

    I like it just fine, but is it really that much better than A Reason to Die, the previous, rejected title?

    Mickey: How about A Reason to Die?
    MGM Exec: Too boring.
    Mickey: No Time to Die?
    MGM Exec: Brilliant!

    Could be, but I think the Cubby/Richard Maibaum/Terence Young connection is more obvious.

    Does this mean Bond 26 will be called Zarak?

    I agree, it doesn't feel like a legitimate Bond title. It sounds like too much of a bargain bin knock off.

    As someone previously stated on one of the threads, a title is as good as the film. Though it does sound like something from a Bond Title Generator

    Love no time to die- Bondian, cool, four words, doesn’t feel fanboyish at all like tomorrow never dies. Honestly amazed by the negative responses. I’d say it’s comparable to from Russia with love. Craig titles ranking:
    1. Casino Royale
    2. No Time to Die
    3. Spectre
    4. Skyfall
    5. Quantum of Solace
